The event, named after UAB's second-year men's basketball coach Jerod Haase, will take place on Friday, Oct. 4, the night before UAB hosts Florida Atlantic in football.

The location moves on campus in lot 15A, where an outdoor basketball court will be erected in front of the Bell and Ullman buildings.

This year's Hoops on the Haasephalt will feature activities for all ages, including a Kids' Zone with inflatables for children, games and prizes for UAB students as well as autograph sessions with the Blazers' men's and women's basketball teams. Both men's and women's hoops squads, as well as men's soccer and softball, will also be competing in a battle of the sexes dance competition choreographed by the UAB cheerleaders and Golden Girls.

Action starts at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 4 with a youth basketball game, followed by a wheelchair basketball exhibition from the Lakeshore Foundation at 6:15 p.m.

The main event will get started at 7 p.m. and will feature a halfcourt shot for tuition for one lucky UAB student as well as a 3-point competition and dunk contest.

Haase will also make a grand entrance to the main event and will introduce the 2013-14 UAB men's basketball team. Haase will be joined by UAB women's basketball head coach Randy Norton, who will also introduce his squad.
